Seriously guys keep cool.
There are only people mining this coin who really want to mine it.
Everybody else is mining something else.
Just watch the movies if you haven't already or watch them again and relax NOW.

"Spirituality is a particular term which actually means dealing with
intuition. In the theistic tradition there is a certain notion of
clinging into a word. A certain act is regarded as displeasing to divine
principles. A certain act is regarded as pleasing for the divine...
whatever. In the tradition of non-theism, however, it is very direct
that the case histories are not particularly important. What is
important is here and now. Now is definitely now. We try to experience
what is available there, on the spot. There is no point in thinking that
a past did exist that we could have now. This is now, this very moment,
nothing mystical, just now, very simple, straight forward. And from that
nowness, however, arises a sense of intelligence, always, that you are
constantly interacting with the reality one by one, spot by spot,
constantly. We actually experience fantastic precision always. But we
are threatened by the now so we jump to the past or the future. Paying
attention to the materials that exist in our life, such rich life that
we lead, all these choices take place all the time, but none of them are
regarded as bad or good, per se, everything that we experience are
unconditional experience. They don't come along with a label by saying
that this is regarded as bad, this is good, but we experience them but
we don't really pay heed to them properly, we don't actually regard that
we are going somewhere, regard that it is a hassle, waiting to be dead.
That's the problem. That is not trusting the nowness properly but what
is actually experienced now possesses a lot of powerful things. It is so
powerful that we can't face it. Therefore we have to borrow from the
past, invite future, all the time. Maybe that's why we seek religion,
maybe that's why we march in the street, maybe that's why we complain to
society, maybe that's why we vote for the presidents. It's quite
ironical, and very funny indeed..."
